hatsukoi limited and everything else by that mangaka. blergh. Ichigo 100% seemed decent, but i didn't bother hanging around long enough to find out.
i also hate clamp manga. i admit that it has beautiful art and some of their mangas are decent, but i can't stand their story lines and some of their characters annoy the heck out of me with their stereotypical personalities.

One of the worst mangas i have ever read to date is Love Strip and i regret reading it partly because of the cheesy storyline but the loser of a protagonist. And to say, its situations like these that actually happen these days. The guy's a loser too. What was the writer thinking?

I completely agree. The art's decent but the storylines are so predictable and cheesy.

Is the manga version of excel saga any good,or should i just stick with the anime?

Hunt the Manga down and read it. It's great. Some would say it's even better than the anime.

Blame! is Japanese. Though the creator did work on some books published in America (like Snikt!)

One Piece has a lot going for it that other manga doesn't. The most of which is art that isn't generic and a well written story.

This shit is rated higher then Naruto, Living game, Tenjou tenge(hell it's all about the art still better than this), Shaman King, etc. The other manga's made by this aren't much to brag about either.

Wait, you think Naruto is good? No... wait.

1. Nobody said the book 'rapes you mind'.
2. The artist, and this is important, ACTUALLY HAS A GRASP ON HUMAN ANATOMY. And this is a lesson to all you kiddies out there who want to learn how to draw. Tracing Dragonball gets you nowhere.
3. It's violent because it tries to get a feeling across. It's a horror manga. It's not a hold-my-hand kiddie story like you're used to.

Well, I don't have much love for the old dames, but they've been around for a long time. When those "cheesy and predictable" first storylines came out, the standards of manga storytelling haven't reached there yet (refering to earlier works, like CCS).

Aside from the odd Jump manga, I only read alternative seinen manga. Magazines like Big Comic Spirits, Ikki, and Afternoon to some extent have series worth my time.

If you're talking about storylines, I recommend you read some full-length novels. If you're talking about art, then I guess you're barking up the wrong tree.

There isn't truly any manga that I hate... but as for extremely disappointed, there's quite a few, ones that I'm only reading to say I finished the series. And first and foremost, which may cause some flames...

Vampire Knight- perhaps it's because its a shoujo manga, and I'm a guy, but it's painful for me to read the chapters half the time, just because it seems like the characters are too one-dimensional, though I think it's mostly the shoujo part (though I admit, I have read a few shoujo that i find decent)

Mx0- Had potential, but then ended way too early

666Satan- this is more of a series that if they'd changed the ending a bit, I'd truly love it, as I still like it. Mostly because of what happened to a good chunk of characters at the end (or perhaps i should say, what didn't happen to them)

well, for me, i dont hate any manga. but i must say that Ichigo is really really boring. i tried to read it but i ended up being confused. no offense, but that series is corny. o.o
with all the transforms and animals and all that craps, made me sick -.-

Ai Girl. It's a dirty porno that disguised as a shoujo manga. Yes its naughty scenes are its main selling point.

On the shounen/seinen side, there is Hen Koi, another dirty porno that disguised as a mainstream manga. This one even worse than Ai Girl because it has no visible plot. Nearly all its chapters ended when the main guy and girl f*cked each other.
